Keeping the snow outside

[ZoomCode]

Hey there! So I have particle emitters making it snow. Which works perfectly however the problem I’m having is these houses have interiors and when snow gets to the roof it just goes right threw causing it to snow inside. Is there any way to work around this?

You may want to refer to this thread:

Making particles stop and disappear when they "hit" an object?

I would like to make weather for my game but because building is involved I would also like the rain textured particles stop and disappear when they hit objects. I thought of using acual objects that destroy themselves when they hit things but that can cause a lot of lag compared to using particles. the particles are also going to be server sided as they will be coming from clouds moving over the map.

I suggest not using terrain from roblox studio.

Interesting. What makes you say that??

I see no problem at all. Its fine.

The solution to this is pretty easy.

1. Make a part.
2. Make a local script and put it in the starterpack.
3. Make a .Touched event for the part inside the local script.
4. When a player touches the part, move the particle object to lighting(or destroy it).
5. Make the opposite with another part.

The code will look something like this :

  game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
      -- This is script will work when a player enters the building. (You can put this part in the door)
      local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
      if hum then
          game.Workspace.SnowParticle.Parent = game.Lighting
          -- game.Workspace.SnowParticle:Destroy()
      end
  end)

It looks fine I think but everyone has their opinions, and he didn’t ask for opinions on the build.

You might want to make a script directing to a whitelist folder and place the models inside that folder.

[ZoomCode]

Hmm. I’ll give this a try will this work locally however? And would it not be easier to disable the particle emitter?

[ZoomCode]

I’m not too sure I quite understand what you mean.

[xCr_epzz (Crepz)]

My suggestion was to make a script that makes the snow ignore (or disappear) when it touches the models in a specific folder.

For example in some weapon systems, there’s a folder which makes bullets ignore models inside a folder, making the bullets trespass them.

[TheRealANDRO (ANDRO)]

Your choice.
Also yeah this is meant to work locally.

[ZoomCode]

I’m going to give these both a try and let you guys know what happens. Thank you!
